5 tips to get cheekbones like Bella Hadid

An object of envy for her 18 million Instagram followers, Bella Hadid’s signature sculpted cheekbones are masterfully created using a play on light. Exclusively for Vogue.fr, Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director of Dior Makeup, reveals his key tips to get her sculpted look, from the pro techniques to the products to use.

“Bella has superb skin. When I do her makeup, it’s simply about sculpting and illuminating her skin, I never want to put too much on” explains Peter Philips. “The key is to keep it all about light, not about shade. When it’s well blended and not over-done the result is gorgeously subtle, and not at all like the extreme looks you see in some makeup tutorial videos or overly-theatrical contouring looks. It’s so important to choose the shade of the products that you’re going to apply well; they need to go with the foundation, so the same shades, the same undertones. For example, if the foundation has a pink undertone, choose something a few shades darker, but still with a pink undertone. Don’t mix warm undertones and cool undertones.”

Step 1: I start by mixing a few drops of the Glow Booster serum from Dior’s Capture Youth range into a moisturizer, then I apply this cocktail for radiance all over the face.

Step 2: Next, I apply the Forever Undercover foundation by Diorskin. It’s a long-lasting foundation that you don’t need to retouch; perfect skin all day.

Step 3: It’s time to do the cheekbones. I use a contouring stick and a darker shade of Diorskin’s Forever Undercover foundation to create shadow underneath the cheekbones and then blend with a brush.

Step 4: Next, I grab Dior’s Flash Luminizer stick in 008 Pearly Pink which I tap onto the tops of the cheekbones with my fingertips. The aim is to get maximum luminosity and to play with contrasts.

Step 5: I bring it all together with Dior Makeup’s Diorskin Nude Luminizer powder in 001 Nude Glow, applied to the top of the cheekbones.
